I have an extremely strong ethic with regard to cheating and plagiarism.  I review "cheat sites," I cross-read all assignments, and I have an excellent memory (ask ANY former student). 

Cheating and plagiarizing will result in a grade of ZERO for BOTH students.  Make-up and alternative assignments will NOT be given.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is copying the words or the ideas of another person or institution without acknowledging that you got those words or ideas from that source.

In 2002, UVA responded to reports of a widespread plagiarism scandal by conducting a 20-month-long investigation that led to the permanent expulsion (permanent removal without a refund of tuition) of 48 students. Most of the students involved in the UVA case were caught copying other students' research papers word for word, the most obvious form of plagiarism and a clear violation of UVA's honor code.

How to Avoid Plagiarism

Acknowledge All Non-Original Words and Ideas

Include quotation marks to indicate language you're using verbatim and include parenthetical citations (Author's Last Name Page Number) for ideas that are not your own.

Do not share work with others!
